The parish in Kurzeszyn was established in 1512. The first wooden church, dedicated to St. Catherine, was founded and endowed by one of the Masovian princes. Another church, also wooden and bearing the same name, was built in 1607 by Bishop Paweł Wołucki of Łuck. He consecrated it in 1616. The church had six altars. A visitation record from 1762 shows that it was pastored by two priests: a parish priest and a vicar, and that the church was already "overworked." However, it was not until 1853 that it was renovated. In 1914, during the military operations of the Battle of Rawka, the church burned down. Between 1922 and 1924, the current brick church, dedicated to St. Catherine, was built from donations from parishioners.

Far from Jerusalem... Indeed, there is little to see, but through the undergrowth looms a familiar manor house. One must respect that this is private property!

The residential building, rebuilt from a flax spinning mill, was built in 1913 in Żyrardów. It was one of the most modern buildings of the Linen Plant and one of the first in the world made of reinforced concrete, adapted to the loads resulting from the work of several thousand spindles. In order to evenly distribute the stresses and vibrations of the building, the roof structure was loaded with earth, and then plants were planted. There was a fire tank on the roof of the building. The water, which was drawn from the Górny Staw on Pisia Gągolin, was to flood all the floors of the building in turn in the event of a fire. On the top floor, below the fire tank, there were two other huge water tanks used to store water used for flax processing (so-called wet spinners). The water was drawn from a source located on the factory premises. It was the cleanest and healthiest water in Żyrardów.
